He's barely even practiced law. How would he make a good AG?

Sean Casten read the inquiries into the record. And he's still pressuring to have the report released.

The AG nomination was a Hail-Mary shot to get him out from under that investigation, which is why he resigned his seat right away. When it became clear that at least some of the House ethics findings would come to light in the Senate confirmation hearings, he dropped out of that process too. He's doing everything he can to keep that report hidden.

Gaetz is very liberal. Why would he have a problem? He’s pro abortion, gay friendly, and supports anti trust legislation, and marijuana legalization. That’s why the Republicans in the House and Senate hate him. He’s not a partisan dyed in the wool Republican. He dissents from the gang all the time

Gaetz’s selection was pushed heavily by Boris Ephsteyn, Trump’s legal adviser who has helped stock his Justice Department at the top levels." - NYT Maggie Haberman


This is the Trump advisor who put him up for the post. Hard to deny Russian influence when it's literally working side-by-side the incoming president.

Um... you realize this guy is an American, right? Good grief.

He WILL BE nominated to Rubio's seat ... no doubt about it. I think the AG was a hail mary ploy, knowing very well it had a low probability of occurring. Yesterday's meetings were mere confirmation from the Senate GOP that his lack of experience would doom him more than some tantalizing report about sex with minors and drug-fueled parties (because let's face it, the MAGA world, including the head of MAGA doesn't give two shits about it). Given that his qualifications were in question, he backs down, knowing that FL will need a Senate filler and guess what folks, you've now moved him from the lower chamber to the upper chamber. Who's coming out on top here??? Certainly not the Dems! (Or bullshit CNN media personalities who can't figure out a power play. That's the problem with the left--y'all are not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to a game of chess.)

Emotion over logic clouds the brain. They lack any critical thinking skills. Trump could appoint Eric Holder to the AG and these clowns would cry from the roof tops.

Nobody cared about the supposed crime. It was a media campaign to get him out of confirmation. I guess next task is Tulsi and Robert

I think it will be Heskseth next. Lightweight with a sexual assault case that's getting a ton of media attention. Then Gabbard. No one in IC trusts her. She can't possibly be confirmed, and there are at least four Republican senators who take their job seriously and won't compromise national security.

RFK jr has the votes. Quite a few Democrats will vote for him. But again, there may be sexual assault issues here too. And that may tank it.

The Trumpers might think about doing background checks at some point.
